(meteorobs) Re: meteorobs-digest V1 #383
Here in Phoenix we've actually had some rain and cloudy days, but at 6:00 AM MST
from our back yard yesterday (Feb. 26) the sky was clear and Hale-Bopp getting
better than ever. The tail looked half again longer than two weeks ago, both
naked-eyed and with binoculars.
Saturday morning (Feb. 22) at 6:30 MST a slow yellow meteor sailed west to east
through the sky to the south, as we looked directly out over the city lights
from a hill in North Phoenix. It split into two at the last second. Then five
minutes later, looking due north, there was a fast brilliant white meteor that
dropped down past Polaris. What a surprise! We weren't expecting to see any.
P.S. Please don't include bulk e-mail from anywhere, including SoftCell--sales
pitches would ruin the meteor news.
Clear Skies,
LaRue from Phoenix.

Sorry folks...I got up at 3 am and noticed lots of low coastal clouds. I then
had a pleasant drive to Descanso...to discover that the clouds are apparently
higher than the normal coastal variety. I didn't see Hale/Bopp at all this
morning. The forecast for the next few days don't look promising either. I
sure wish our weathermen were a little better at forecasting. The other day
it was forecasted to be a nice mid week...now there's talk of rain for a few
days. I'll continue my posting about Hale/Bopp after my next clear
opportunity of the comet.

It's back to the ol' Northeast weather again...I got up at 5:34AM and
found that clouds had blanketed the sky. But my LM was ~0. That's
right, 0. Somehow, just Somehow, I looked at Mars with my
telescope:Polar cap and surface features! CM was about 200d(I think).
Where can I get the daily positions of their positions, and the CM
of the major planets on the 'net?
